tSsTHERE ANY HOPE?
NEW AND IMPORTANT OPINIONS
s., OF PULMONARY EXPERTS
Can tho Universal Consumption be
e. Successfully Treated?

DR.. Borgeon, leading French doctor,
has new treatment for consumption.
He gives an enema OF carbonic acid
sulphurettcd hydrogen gases, the latter
gas carrying the former into every part
OF the throat and lungs.
This treatment, too, is directed at
efects-the cause romans undistur bed.
What this caus els has been stated by
perhaps the highest pulmonary authority
in the world, /. G., the Brompton Hos
pital for Consumptives, in London, Eng.
This malady every year carries off from
one-seventh to one-fifth of the entire
population of Englandl
DIR. Payne, Md, M. .C.P., London, is
authority for this statement.
The same or a greater proportion OF
deaths obtains in America.
DR.. Payne also says that one-half the
total number Of deaths from all other
causes have seeds OF this disease in the
system which only require some irritant
to develop!
German authority says that consump-
ton is caused by deficient nutrition of
the lungs, by poor blood.
These authorities cannot be disputed.
The medical world recognizes them. The
uric acid is the irritant in the blood that
causes the development of the seeds
which DIR. Brebmer says lie dormant in
the blood.
Every particle OF blood which passes
through the lungs and heart, also goes
through the kidneys, and if they are in
the least deranged they cannot rid the
blood of its killing poison. The thousand
little hair-like sewer tubes Of the kidneys
very easily get blocked up and diseased;
and when they do, they corrupt instead
of purifying the blood. Kidney disease
may exist, and yet no pain occur in that
organ, because it is deficient in nerves of
sensation.
Dip your finger in acid every day and
it soon testers and is destroyed Send
acid poisoned blood through the lungs |
every second, and they soon give way.
The Brompton Hospital investigation
showed that 50 per cent. Of the victims
of consumption were afflicted with de-
ranged kidneys, which permitted the uric
acid poison to remain in the blood and
irritate the lungs. This uric acid is al
ways fighting every vital organ, and if
there be any inherent weakness in the
lungs it inevitably causes pneumonia,
cough and consumption.
The real cause OF pulmonary troubles
being so authoritatively shown to be
faulty even though unsupported action of
the kidneys, explains why, in order to
master the dreaded consumption, one
must rid the blood of the uric acid irri-
.ant which infames and burns up the
lung substance. For this purpose there
Is nothing equal to that great specific,
Warmers safe cure. This remedy has
now the favor of medical men all over
he world purely on its merits. We have
10 doubt that il the Kidneys are kept in
natural action, consumption and great
many other diseases, caused by uric acid,
will not only be cured but will be pre-
rented.
When the kidney is healthy, no albu-
nen appears in the water, but albumen

This, then, is the condition of things
hat always precedes consumption:
